Hello everyone, I am trying to find an e-mail client I can use with Google app specific password thing. I ave profi-mail on my windows phone right now, but it wont load up gmail because it needs an app specific password. Well i haven o idea where to put the app specific password into the program. I may be missing something totally here.
all this is coming about form an error i get on opera mobile that it wont allow me to pull up gmail anymore it gives an invalid address error. G mail still works in the regular IE mobile but its a pain in the butt.
Thanks for any help
Disregard, I am supposed to enter the app specific password in place of my normal password.
Still open to any freeware clients. I want to make sure it doesn't automatically connect unless I tell it to thought because i dont have a data plan therefore I only want ot access the inbox when im connected to wifi or via USB internet.
One other thing about connecting Via USB. If I am using one of these pop3 servers (or via the browser) can the admin of the network im on (IT) see my e-mails ?

Not sure if this is an AP5 issue or wether its a windows live or outlook problem but but I can`t seem to add an email account
I hit new account. fill in my email address and password (its a hotmail.co.uk account) then hit the next button. It says "Auto setup founds setting for: hotmail.co.uk To complete setup and download email click next. It launches Opera and tells me all about the benifits of using email on my phone. there is a "try it out" button which opens a text box to add a mobile number but this must be a USA format number as its XXX XXX XXXX.
Tried various formats and never recieved any setting via text message.
Go back to Windows live and there is no new account added
Any ideas people?
No one else having this problem or know how I can cure it?
Its driving me nuts.

This will always happen to the email account that you register to the microsoft live website. It won't happen to the normal email account. You will see that account within windows live only, I think.
Have you tried the manual set up instead of hitting the autosetup button?
I'm not getting an option to setup manually though.
I goto add new account and i have two boxes. Email & password.
it then say hit next to auto setup
err....you don't set up hotmail accounts through the mail application.
Go into the Windows Live application and sign in using that, and Bingo.....Your hotmail account appears in the mail application.
Of course if you have a network branded device without Windows Live installed.....I guess you'd need to find that and install that first.....
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the G Tablet to connect to exchange. Went the manual mode, put in my username (with and without domain name) and email address (they're different) and the server. Chose ActiveSync, after "Checking incoming server settings..." i got error about authentication failed. I checked the credentials (owa & iphone are working fine using the same credentials), played with all the ssl options but still not connecting. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Well, the bad news is that I can't help you.... yet. The good news is that my gtablet arrives today, and one of the first things I'll be doing is setting up exchange! I'll report back.
You say that you have tried all the SSL options, but for me to get it to work I had to not use any SSL (Even though we have SSL on the mail server).
Also, for username I had to put domain\username, otherwise it wouldn't work. Maybe search for another exchange clien and see if you can log in using that?

I also tried it without any SSL and did use domain\username to no avail. I put in a ticket with my school but haven't received any reply, not sure if there's anything they can do since it works fine on iphone/ipad.
I would try another client. Touchdown has the most features and flexibility of all the exchange clients for mobiles. It also has a free trial.
is it your own exchange server, or a corporate?
I know on our system, we have to use an external webserver for any device that isn't our corporate laptop. If you are trying to use the same one as your PC, it might not work as the MAC won't be accepted by the actual server.
Also, if you have a blackberry, you CAN'T use the exchange settings from that either as there is an intermediary server for BBS.
Check with your IT folks....my guess is that there is something like
ext.yourcompany.com for the server.

What are the exact settings for your yahoo account?
I do not mean your email and password ... that should be on your side only.
I mean server, port, protocol, etc.
Did you configured it as premium (IMAP) or POP3 or Microsoft Exchange Active Synch?
Which security type have you selected (no, SSL, TLS, ...)?
You can specify all this settings in manual config.
I think that Yahoo only supports POP3 (pop.mail.yahoo.com) for incoming and SMTP (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) for outgoing mails.
But I am not sure as I do not have a Yahoo mail account.
If your Yahoo mail synchronization worked before, you have enabled SMTP already at Yahoo for your account.
But what happened that this does not work any more?
Have you changed a special setting, another account, firmware, installed or un-installed an app?
Sometimes it is helpful to wipe the cache in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).
Good luck !
Yes i updated my firmware frm 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 last week and actualy never used my yahoo after that so do know when it started today i tried to mail but it gave error sending failed not a secure conection so i deleted the acount and tried to setup up again now its just not seting up giving me error i mentioned before i tried all settings imap pop3 ticked accept all ssl certificate n saw bt no use it says unable to connect
P.s :gmail is working fine
I installed k-9 app and it easily setup my yahoo acount and i can mail through it too dont know what went wrong with the default application(social hub)
stil i would like to know what went wrong if anyone could help
I know this may sound stupid, but can you get into the Yahoo account via the web (on the phone or PC)? At least this will confirm you have the correct username/email address and password.
What server settings did you put in?
Brother i said i can access now via k9 but still not via the default social hub and yes i can acces through pc and mobile browser too
i tried all the possible settings in the social hub like pop3; imap ;ssl certificate on; accept all ssl certificate but no use so currently i m using k9
i think it has to do something with the certificate validation as the error says so but i dont know the solution to it
p.s : phone not rooted
Had the same error today. Read somewhere to change the Yahoo account's outgoing settings on the phone to SSL with accept all certificates, but that didn't help. So I changed security type to None, and all mail starting flowing out of the outbox again. Guess next time I get the error I'll change back to SSL...
I cant change the outgoing settings of server unless i login and i cant setup only the yahoo account so i dnt get option of manuly editing outgoing server
This is an SSL problem, android does not always include all chained root certificates.
You will still get an error like this:
Cannot safely connect to server.
(java.security.InvalidAlforithmParameterException: trusteAnchors.isEmpty())
Certificate chain[0]:
Subject: CN=(SSL common name here), OU=Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), OU=See
etc...
This needs to be fixed in the build.
I get this problem running latest android 2.3.7, CM7 with SavagedZen Kernel
Would love a fix so I can use SSL again.
Juststarted receiving this error message TODAY. No changes or updates to anything on my phone...anybody know how to fix this.
I also starting getting this today (Cox email). Changing the SSL option to "SSL (Accept all certificates)" fixed it for me.
after sougote
On the email settings tap on outgoing settings and change security type to none.
That worked for my AOL account it might work for others. Worth a try anyway.
i'm facing the same problem...
solution is go to application->setting->Account and sync->add account..
Then yahoo account that I put in account&sync will auto display in mail..
So I didn't facing the giving the error(java.security.cert.certpathvalidatorExceptio n:trust anchor for certification path not found)...:fingers-crossed:

I've been using Att imap.mail.att.net for years for inbound mail (on my Android phone using 4.4.2 ) and ATT mail stopped receiving on July 25th for no obvious reason. I fussed with it a while and fortunately was able ot figure it out. If you follow my steps it should work:
Another contributor mentioned "can't safely connect to server" is actually an SSL error message. He's right... for reasons unknown they've changed something about SSL.
You must change your SSL setting from SSL to the alternative : SSL (accept any certificate) The phone informs you it is testing the connection after you change this. with just SSL it will fail, but once you've changed it you will notice the error message has changed.
Once you observe the test is passing, you have the original problem fixxed, but I still had to mop up the existing mess. Here's what I did:
1.) jotted down all the settings in the imap screen including my account name etc.
2.) Removed the account (with imap all messages are still on the server and will come back later)
3.) reboot (this may have been superfluous
4.) reinstalled the mail account using the jotted down settings ... and don't forget .. set to SSL (accept any certificate)
That should do the trick.... Take care
For starters, this is a stock maxx device, had it since the release.
I go to Ashland University in Ashland Ohio and we use @ashland.edu gmail accounts. Our 'oh so wonderful' IT department has deemed that incoming freshmen are too stupid to remember multiple passwords for various logins across campus so they set up this "Active Directory" system in which you create a master password and its changes all passwords across all logins. So I changed my password today using the AD system...
..only to find it also affected my gmail. Now, I am unable to sync my emails to my phone through the gmail app. I cannot download anything in the marketplace, and I get an annoying popup about google talk failing to authenticate.
I've read that you should get a popup that allows you to change the password on your device via the market or the gmail app.. I've had neither. Unfortunately this is my primary account as well so I can't just delete it and re add it.
Does anyone have any work around so I don't have to wipe my phone? I'd really hate to lose everything that I can't backup via my SD card and all of my custom made widgets and what not. I figured it might have to do with the fact my gmail was an @ashland.edu instead of a @gmail.com
Thanks.
In my Android phone I have added a gmail account in the 'Accounts and Synch' option in it's Settings.So now whenever i connect to internet via sim(data network) or wifi, my email is accessible without prompting for password. What is the solution for it?? I don't want to remove this account as I want to use it for Google Play, but I just want to secure my mail from anyone else who is using my phone. Kindly Guide me. I am a newbie in Android world. Please help me out even if you feel that my query is silly !!!!!!
